Thought 29: Working With Words 📝
To read or not to read; that is the question for poetry. Before this project, I would have chosen not to, but after writing a book on poetry the answer, is maybe.
For this joint PLP 8-9 project, we were tasked with writing a book about poetry, to express our worldview. Before this project, I thought poetry was just a bunch of elitist creeps sitting in dark rooms writing pages of pretentious ramblings. Now I know its a bunch of elitist non-creeps sitting in dark rooms writing pages of pretentious ramblings. Over the course of this project, we wrote a total of 9 poems, including haiku poems, simile poems, found poems, and more.
After we wrote all our poems, we put them into an app called Book Creator. Book Creator has lots of tools to make books with creative designs. I designed most of my pages by arranging various shape assets to make pictures.
Lastly, we presented our poem making skills on a Zoom presentation. We were put into groups where we had to make one joint poem as a group that expresses our worldview. Our group was assigned the haiku format. Since haikus are very short, we combined 3 of the haikus we had already made and presented those in the Zoom presentation.
It includes audio recordings explaining the meaning behind each poem.
